Overview

In the Bachelor of Science - Biology major at University of South Dakota, students will develop research and critical thinking skills as they will learn about a range of important topics in science, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, stem-cell research, advances in medicine and genetically modified organisms. Students will tailor the program to fit their unique interests in biology by selecting a specialization – conservation and biodiversity; physiology, cell and molecular biology; or human dynamics – that will make their University of South Dakota degree the ideal launching point for their career. They can look forward to gaining real-world research experience with faculty in their labs or in the field. This rich background in science will position graduate students for success as they will apply to medical or other professional health schools or prepare for careers in conservation, ecology, biotechnology, genomics and neurobiology. With a Human Dynamics specialization in biology, graduate students will be well-prepared to gain admittance to and succeed in a doctoral program in physical therapy or a related program. They will take undergraduate courses that follow a pre-physical therapy track, such as physiology, anatomy, chemistry, psychology and human development. This major specialization also allows them to begin their study in University of South Dakota's physical therapy professional program at the Sanford School of Medicine and earn their Doctor in Physical Therapy in six years instead of seven.
